[192] Transplanting Mystic Eyes
"Wait a moment!" Lehrman stood up and said, "Why do you want to buy so many mystic eyes?"
"Ah... about that." Kazuya casually stood up and said, "You see, if I get into a fight with someone else... would it be better for them to be wary of just one mystic eye, or is it more challenging when they don't know the total, which happens to be five mystic eyes?"
Lehrman's eyes lit up, and this time, instead of acquiring any mystic eyes, he smiled, "Well then, Kazuya, how about cooperating with our Lehrman family?"
"Cooperate?"
Lehrman said, lifting his eyepatch, revealing an eye emitting a gem-like radiance, "As you can see, the Lehrman family possesses the technology to create such prosthetic eyes. And they are detachable."
Saying that, he inserted his hand into his eye socket, took out the eye, and replaced it with another from his pocket, "Just like this... if you're willing to cooperate with us, not only regular mystic eyes but even NobleColor-level mystic eyes are possible. Compared to a fixed mystic eye, isn't this more difficult to guard against?"
The "Rainbow" mystic eye is about to be auctioned.
Although he don't know the specific timing, it's within the last ten to twenty years.
For ordinary people, it might seem like an incredibly long time, but for us magus, it's different.
Preparing for a magecraft takes decades.
Preparing for a mystic eye takes even longer.
It's all part of the normal course of events.
Everything—for the sake of reaching the root.
If we have the "Rainbow" mystic eye for research, we might be able to produce jewel-grade prosthetic eyes... this would be a significant advancement for us in reaching the root.
In their eyes, when their descendants can develop the technology to create prosthetic eyes that match the "Rainbow" mystic eye, they could potentially reach the root with this technology.
And Kurokawa Kazuya are wealthy.
Although he don't know the specifics, if we can achieve cooperation...
"Sorry, I'm not interested..." Kazuya shrugged.
"Is that so." Lehrman sighed slightly, "Then forget it."
Lehrman gave up, but someone hadn't given up yet. Even when Kazuya turned around, they could feel the gaze of that Dead Aposlte fixed on them.
So, he turned back and said, "Mr. Edington."
"What's the matter?"
"I don't know if you need to transplant a mystic eye." Kazuya smiled, "As you can see, I have five mystic eyes in my hands. If you need one, I can give it to you... as a contribution to the Church, how about that?"
"You brat!" The Dead Aposlte immediately understood Kazuya's intention—Use this mystic eye to kill that Dead Aposlte.
That must be what he was thinking!
"No, there's no need." Neil Edington shook his head, "Just a mere Dead Aposlte, one person is enough for me."
"Yeah... yeah... Mr. Neil Edington is truly amazing!" The Dead Aposlte squinted slightly, not saying anything more.
Kazuya smiled, "Too bad, but if you're not interested, let it be. Well then, let's proceed with the transplant."
"Alright."
Kazuya said, following the conductor, they left the compartment and headed towards the first compartment.
"So... which mystic eye do you want to transplant?"
Rodin asked Kazuya.
"Well... let's do it like your special service before. Combine two mystic eyes together. One eye will be transplanted with the Jewel Mystic Eye, and the other with the Golden Mystic Eye. How about that?"
"Fine." Rodin nodded.
"By the way, if it's just one mystic eye, won't there be a risk of losing control, especially with that mystic eye of domination?"
"I don't know, but once the transplant is complete, we can assess whether it's within control. However, even if it's a risk of losing control, the operation to fully control it will have to wait until next year... I mean, the removal."
"I understand." Kazuya nodded, "So, let's start the transplant."
"Alright." Saying that, Leandra came out from the side, "I am in charge of transplanting mystic eyes for you."
Kazuya lay down on the surgical table, feeling a bit nervous. He still asked, "It will definitely be successful, right? No problems?"
"Yes, no problem." Leandra nodded.
Kazuya also breathed a sigh of relief. When his stand judged it, she said it was genuine.
The next moment—
The Rose Maiden appeared.
It was an indescribable figure.
In an instant, Kazuya understood that the person in front of him was the deputy manager of the Mystic Eye Collection Train!
In her two hands, she held bottles containing two pairs of mystic eyes.
Namely, the Jewel Mystic Eye and the Mystic Eye of Domination.
The mystic eyes merged with each other—
In an astonishing speed, the four mystic eyes in Kazuya's gaze turned into two.
Afterwards, the mystic eyes shattered...
From the shattered mystic eyes emerged a fully controlled Mystic Eye.
After that, the deputy manager reached out her hand towards him, and the next moment, Kazuya lost consciousness...
Originally, removing and transplanting mystic eyes involves connecting the spiritual links between the two parties. This is a kind of super-precise surgery that can be performed by breaking the connection to remove or by forming a connection to transplant.
Kazuya's eyes, even if they were not mystic eyes, were linked to him...
If you want to remove them completely, without harming any other part of him, and even without shedding blood... only the deputy manager has the expertise to do it.
When Kazuya regained consciousness, everything before him was pitch black.
But there was a difference that he could sense...
From his eye socket, he could feel the existence of eyeballs, but he was warm.
As if he was alive.
A cloth of an unknown color wrapped around his eyes, blocking his vision.
"The surgery has been successfully completed." Leandra's tone for the first time showed a sense of amazement, "Unexpectedly, you managed to completely suppress these two mystic eyes, beyond expectations."
"What's wrong..." Kazuya's voice was a bit hoarse.
"Mr. Kurokawa... in this state, one might suspect you are some kind of Dead Aposlte... but you are indeed a human, making people amazed. But only in this way can you completely suppress these two mystic eyes."
"So, you mean..."
"Yes, as long as Mr. Kurokawa doesn't weaken, there is no possibility of going berserk."
At this moment, Kazuya finally relaxed.
